RecoverRx for Windows helps you recover files from storage devices like photos, documents, music & videos files, from Hard Drive, SSD, USB Flash storage, SD cards, MP3 music players, etc. by performing a deep scan. If some other data have not overwritten the location of the deleted files, you should be able to recover it.
RecoveRx file recovery software
Run the program once you install it. It will detect all the storage devices connected to the computer. If you see an arrow, it means the drive has partitions inside. Expand, and select the partition from where you need to recover the files. Click next.
The next screen offers tons of options. You can choose file types for images, videos, documents, and others. The other includes support for file types from software like iTunes, Final Cut Pro, ISO, and so on. Click next to start the deep scan and recovery process.
- The software supports external hard drives, USB flash drives, SSD, Memory cards, and digital music players.
- The time of recovery depends on your selection and storage capacity. So before you start your scan, select the options smartly.
The software doesn’t offer any preview of the files you can recover. It just recovers for you in the location which you chose before the scan.
As you can see in the above image, the result displays four files that were recovered, and the folder on the right has all those files. Since I only selected extensions for just pictures, the software recovered those files.
Features
The software offers three utilities.
- Recovery: Offers both primary recovery and advanced recovery functions.
- Formatting: SD memory cards, CompactFlash memory cards, and StoreJet devices. It only works on Windows.
- Protection: If you use a Transcend’s memory card with the RDF8 card reader. You can lock it with a password. It is supported only on the Windows OS.
While RecoveRx works fine, the interface needs an upgrade. When I selected a hard disk, it displayed partitions with no names, i.e., those using C, D, and so on, as NO NAME. The only way to figure out the right one was by comparing the storage capacity in Windows Explorer. Also, it displays reserved system drives which should not be available to all users. We hope the company will update it in some time.
How do I recover deleted files from my Transcend hard drive?
You can recover the deleted files from your Trancend hard drive or a hard drive of another brand by using data recovery software. Many free data recovery software are available. You can use any of them. When you delete a file, it goes to Recycle Bin. If you have deleted the files from there, you need to install Data Recovery software to recover your data. In addition to hard drives, Data Recovery software are also available for network drives.
Is it safe to use data recovery software?
Yes, it is safe to use data recovery software. We suggest you download data recovery software only from trusted sources. When you delete a file from a storage device, it is not actually deleted from the storage device. After deleting the data, the space it occupied becomes available for new data. This means that the deleted files remain available on the storage device until the space they were occupying is overwritten with new data. Data Recovery Software scans these sectors to recover deleted files.
